[@DAddy-iy9mu]

I would like some tips for practicing at home without a a pad.

[@GemaPratamaAditya]

as for me, i sit on my chair, laptop ready on my desk, and I open PIU charts I want on youtube. Then you practice by stomping your floor while sitting and watching the chart on youtube. this might sound silly but Ive been doing this for over a year (im currently playing S19-D18) and i feel that this has improved my gameplay in some way.

[@ov3jo]

I think that "How you can get your PIU TX pads super sensitive and flushed like mine" will be a great theme for your next video! 🤔

[@VashSawyer]

On a serious note, we really need more tech stuff like this

[@inglomi]

Over the past few months, I've been coming back to this video again and again to remind myself of how I can improve. I have found from applying your tips on cheating crossovers and bracket footswitching a significant improvement in my footwork, stamina, and scores on S18+ charts. I got my first SSS on a 19 with Twist of Fate back in August 2019 and I just got my first SSS on a 20 with We Got 2 Know last week. If it wasn't for watching your videos, I would continue to struggle playing 18s and 19s back to back. Thank you for your amazing content and helpful videos!! ✌🏼

[@niji_k]

The Bracket Footswitching, in fact, is a widely used technique on rhythm games and its' communities, and not only in PIU but also games like DDR, SDVX, IIDX and so on. They even have a word for that: Japanese players use あんみつ(餡蜜, Anmitsu), named after one of the earliest user of this technique, which was used for clearing "Ska a go go" from IIDX. Chinese players use 馅蜜(read "xiànmì"; same kanji from the Japanese one). Korean players use 뭉개기(to crush/ to squash: from "crushing" multiple notes and treating them as one single note) or 안미츠(transliteration from the Japanese one). Seems like they use 'Anmitsu' for communities and players of which uses English. Just wanted to point that there's actually a lot of people who use that technique, and not gonna lie; these tricks are just pure golden. Thanks for uploading such a nice video!

[@dennismiller9720]

I love hearing all of your tips and tricks for stuff

Hands down to happyf333tz for these kind of videos. Thank you so much !

[@rodogon3013]

Thanks for the tips, they're extremely helpful!!

[@ValentinoHarpa]

Your tips are very game changing for me! Please do more!

[@boobufestu]

It's like you're read my mind I've been waiting for this video

[@Scopatone]

I'd love some tips on using your tips and heels to play. I'm currently kind of stuck on S17 because I use my entire front ball of my foot for every note meaning my entire leg needs to move to do basically everything. This is n't a problem for most 17s but once I tried some 18s and the gaps between notes in runs got shorter and I had to hit them faster, I'm finding myself having trouble moving my legs fast enough. Or for example the final section of Travel to the Future S17 when you alternate front to back notes over and over, it's hard to move my legs that much distance in that short amount of time. I'm trying to learn to use my heels and toes to conserve energy and shorten distance, but it's a trial by fire kind of thing

[@ThePondermatic]

The trick to learning a new form like this is to go back to easy charts and force yourself to use the form until it feels natural, and then go back up in difficulty. I think you know what hitting panels with your heels looks like, you just need to get used to doing it! I suggest taking a play session or two and dropping down to the S10-S12 range, where everything is 8th note runs. Force yourself to hit bottom arrows with your heels and top arrows with your toes until it starts to feel natural and you don't miss many arrows by mistake. Then, move up through 13, 14, 15, and 16s until you're back up to speed with the new technique. Going back to easier charts like this can be a drag, but heel/toe form isn't that difficult to pick up, so there's a good chance you'll be done practicing it after just a few hours of play. It's unlikely you'll be stuck in easier charts for weeks, just a couple days.

[@chrispham6599]

Note then hold is something I actually discovered when I first started playing Pump it Up. I feel cheesy when I do it though

[@vader1587]

Thx for yours advice

[@sergevillasica8621]

Do you have any tips on how to drill consistently.. I could drill for 5-6 notes at a time but when it's extended, I immediately become off-beat.

[@RomanMiguel7]

Tnx for the tip. But unfortunately I am really bad at focussing on the arrows. I always miss things at the crucial moments.

[@DarkSilentSC]

So start practicing cheats if you start to feel that crossover pattern is too fast? I figured out the combo speed trick while playing Gashina S18, you can literally lift off the foot from the center holds, and do bracket jumps instead.

[@JorgeBCanchola]

one thing I still struggle with is when all notes in a run also are holds, like Good Night both S20 and S23, as well as Paradoxx S23 I can do runs normally at those speeds, but I can't seem to understand them when there are holds, my combo and even my life bar breaks

[@DevilSpider_]

I will sometimes share my custom levelset. However, all are single and Rave Girls, Soulja Boy and matoi feature some advanced gimmicks like very amplified snake mod...

[@maxxx6970]

Thank you!

The timing window in XX is now fixed so that it has become unbiased now.

[@justitgstuff5284]

Good to know

[@happyf333tz]

Jeffrey Lee proof? I still play late and notice it’s much easier.

[@jeffreylee4040]

@@happyf333tz Actually I'm not sure. Some people feel like me, while others do not catch the difference. I tend to step early in general, so I usually had some random greats in Prime2, but I got more SSS on XX. Also, I missed a lot of runs with a very short holds(like those in Good Night D24) in Prime2, but I don't in XX.

[@danvilela]

Great! But how did you learn that?

[@um.strwbrry]

Thanks!! I’m playing level 15-17 right now am I’m struggling with drills, now I can A 《hell fire》✨✨

Dude thank you for that I always wondered how it was supposed to be done I can’t wait til we get a pump it up here on the big island of Hawaii also known as Hawaii island we had zero and dignity was the hardest at that point so I just ended up not playing for a while then I went back to the arcade that had it I was pissed as hell to find not even one rhythm in the whole arcade I hope we get one soon I’m having pump fever lol basically rhythm game sickness it’s killing me we don’t even have a damn ddr pump or itg I just wanna cry 😭 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂

[@doobdoob8609]

Wow I actually stage passed mad5cience thanks to you now 🥳

[@SentureUK]

You forgot one important part about Note, then hold. Some charts (Shub S19 being a good example and Interference S18) have holds that you are required to tap the start of. Similarly, Vacuum S18(?) has brackets at the end after the drills. The first set you can hold, the second you can't. But both sets of brackets look like normal brackets.

[@happyf333tz]

I mention this at 4:52 !

[@SentureUK]

@@happyf333tz Shub and Interference don't have visible steps before the hold you have to tap

[@happyf333tz]

SentureUK they are visible, but extremely hard to see. Those two charts are really tough to see for sure.

[@SentureUK]

@@happyf333tz Fair enough. It has been a while since I played those charts. Both of them look like conventional holds when I did

[@trashchildjpeg]

I'm having so many issues with my staircases and because of that I cant even work on getting better at s9 charts. Like I know how to do them but when it comes to actually doing them in a chart, I can't actually perform them. It's so frustrating!

how to buy an AM.pass ?

Hey Happyf33tz, Idk if you get asked this often, I just never see it, but what shoes and or socks do you use and what would you recommend?

He plays with regular socks. He recommends skinners if you want to play without shoes.

[@AlanVelaRules]

Thank you for your tips !!!!

All of this tips are for player who can full combo s15 or pass s21... I wish there were some advice or tips for the players that want to beat the S10 barrier

[@Quree_official]

what about trills....?

[@ThePondermatic]

There's no trick, you just have to hit them. Make sure you stay in time - if you panic, going too fast is as much a risk as going too slowly. And paradoxically, I've found that trying to relax my body makes it easier to move quickly enough for fast trills than tensing up to try to give it my all.

The best trick to improve at pump it up is having a machine at home, there are not other tricks

[@kusanagi3816]

not actually

[@happyf333tz]

Not true at all, I made a huge amount of progres by simply playing 2 times a week at my local arcade before buting a cabinet.

[@sillygoosechinachina]

I think change this to having regular access to a piu cab

[@IvansPersonal]

Josue TCS you do know that most pump it up players don't have a cabinet at home yet they can play D20s++, don't you?

[@kazaki03]

I play 3 times a week at a local mall tho, I went from S6 to S15 in 1 year or less i guess, currently S16/D13
